Major Work Activity C – Installs and Maintains Wiring Systems
Task C-16 Installs and maintains raceways, cables, conductors and enclosures
Task Descriptor
Raceways contain and protect conductors and cables. Enclosures may be used to access and terminate the content of the raceway, and to facilitate the installation of conductors and the interconnection of components. Raceways and cables are installed in various environments. Industrial electricians install, and maintain raceways, cables and conductors.
It is understood that conduits and tubing are raceways, however for the purpose of this standard, raceways are separated from conduits and tubing to identify the different skills needed to install and maintain them.
For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspection, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.

Task C-18 Installs and maintains heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) electrical components
Task Descriptor
Heating, ventilation and cooling systems (in this task, that is, systems where electricity is not the sole source of energy) are typically installed by other trades, but are electrically connected by industrial electricians. Industrial electricians connect power to HVAC systems, HVAC associated equipment and controls. They also install HVAC system controls as well as repair or replace HVAC components, controls and associated equipment.
For the purpose of this standard, “install” includes both new installations and upgrading of systems by removing and replacing components.
For the purpose of this standard, “maintain” includes inspections, preventative/predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, replacing and repairing activities.
